GPS Simulator

The GPS Simulator allows the testing of flight code and GPS tracking systems on the ground where errors can be detected and corrected without risking the loss of a near spacecraft or the failure of an onboard experiment.

Features of the GPS Simulator

Operates from a single nine-volt battery

Attaches to a flight computer like a GPS receiver (no modifications to the flight computer are necessary)

Simulates the launch, ascent, float, descent, and landing of a near space mission
